13-year 2-month-old male how should I type it - Brenda


Posted: Jun 05, 2015

Hello everyone, appreciate some opinions on this.  He states 13-year 2-month-old male but I am not absolutely positive on hyphenating this, not use to them dictating the years and the months.

I used to type for a pediatric transplant doctor who always dictated ages this way and I typed it just like you have here. It used to make me crazy. Doc, does it really matter? I waited for the day he'd add weeks and days too, but it never happened, thank goodness! :-)

soon-to-be 13-year 2-month old - all

Try the almost 60-year-old.

38 and 2 weeks (yea right).

Just a little fun.

May 13, 2014

Which is correct:  "The patient is here for a 3-month followup visit."  or  "The patient is here for a 3 month followup visit."   I was always told in this instance that it is without the hyphen becuase putting the hyphen in it will mean that the visit is 3 months long versus a visit at 3 months' time.   Which is the correct way to do this?  I got a correction back on a file and I was pretty sure I had it right.   ...
